PORT MEDWAY, SOUTHSHORE poem


from the ABC set POETRY - A Passage of Motion

Port Medway, Southshore

At trawler’s edge
seagulls circle, their
shrieks
a signal for the
children

pa’s home, again.

Yes, thanks. Port Medway is a small collection of homes banked by piles of rock, and the fishing makes it significant for families depending on the day's catch. Richard LP
